Ladd's artesian we'll was down $50 feet the
drill struck tree, and pieces OF wood and
bark were brought up in the sand bucket.
The we'll is now down $50 feet, and more
wood has been struck It is supposed that
the first wood struck was the top of the
tree, and that now the foot has been
reached, therefore the tree must have been
LOO feet high. The wood is almost coal,
and the stuff which comes up smells like an
old peat bog. 1t may be that the well has
taken sheer and is coming up in the bogs
OF Erin's green isle.

ANACONDA SHELTER.
Facts and Doings at the Great Smelling
Works at Anaconda.

From q party who knows whereof he
speaks the reporter learns that the snelt-
ing works at Anaconda are now active and
busy and all the dull times and dark days
that were seen about the time OF the strike
have given place to business and activity.
During the shutdown many new build
ings and useful Improvements were con-
structed. The chief one was the stamp
room, 75x65 with 5Ox65-foot addition.
It is wholly new and scene of busy activi-
ty and q small army OF artisans night and
day. The steam stamp in it can crush
300 tons If ore per day and the ore thus
crushed is concentrated by new machinery
brought in expressly for that purpose.
while the tailings are worked on the Evans
tables, and it is claimed that all the work
OF this stamp is a gain over the work OF the
smelter as heretofore operated.
Another one of the impro 7etnents is the
automatic delivery OF ore from the cars to
the stamp and the crushers. Formerly
this was done by hand. The automatic
method is quicker, cheaper and more etec-
tive. The smelter is noticeable in this,
that it is filled with new labor-saving ap-
pliances and the latest improvements.
And it is stated that notwithsta nding the
increase of labor-saving appliances, as
many men will be employed as before, be-
cause the increase in the capacity OF the
works will demand it. The smelter carries
on it's pay r0l 600 men and the company
ia getting out more ore to-day than ever
before.

TEE MINER man saw the following notice
posted in the Opera House yesterday after
noon and upon inquiry learned that only
the evening before had Mcguire become
aware of the facts referred to. He put
his foot down" at once and thus showed
himself sound on the white workingman's g
question. The offending parties were q
few subordinate members Of the company
and the stage hands, and did not include,
of course. the principal ladies and gentle
men of the company.
THE NOTICE.
The attention of the management is being
called to the fact that some members OF the
company and the attaches OF this theater
are boarding at Chinese restaurant, and
az the same is detrimental to the interests
of the theater and the respectability of the
profession, it is requested that a discontin-
uance OF the same will take place at once.
TIE management does not arrogate the
right to dictate or interfere with any ones
private business, but in this case it is a de-
fiance of public opinion and sentiment and
q lowering of the status OF the company at
large.
